For Honor Update 2.29.0 Patch Notes
NEW HERO – KYOSHIN
Samurai known as Kyoshin possess a profound connection to the spiritual world. The Shikomizue, a concealed blade, became a weapon of choice thanks to their special training. The heaviest swords and scabbards in the world cannot overcome the heavenly powers that give them the upper hand over their opponents. They are able to block attacks and retaliate quickly due to their special Kaze Stance.
